What the brand actually publishes
1 documented amounts, split into services, add-ons, plans and policy charges. Each keeps the exact label it was published under so you can match it against the menu you are shown at booking.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Get Nailed membership | $60 | $60 | — | THE TEN SPOT |
Individual owners set menus within a brand-set band. Use them as documented examples only.
U.S. market ranges for comparison
Use this as a sanity check. If a quote lands well outside the national band below, ask what is included before concluding it is poor value — scope differences explain most outliers.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic manicure | $20 | $33 | $50 | per service | File, shape, cuticle work and regular polish. |
| Wash & blowout | $35 | $55 | $95 | per service | Wash and style; length and thickness drive the top end. |
| Eyebrow wax | $12 | $20 | $35 | per service | Shaping only; tint and lamination are separate. |
| Classic lash full set | $100 | $155 | $250 | full set | One extension per natural lash. |
| Express facial | $45 | $72 | $110 | 30 minutes | Cleanse, exfoliate and mask. |
National planning ranges. A quote outside these bands is not automatically wrong - check what is included before judging it.
Where you live changes the price more than anything else
Rent and wages flow straight into the menu. Applying published metro cost bands to the $33 national median for basic manicure gives the following planning ranges.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $45–$58 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $36–$44 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $31–$36 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $23–$31 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Bands scale the $33 national median by published metro cost multipliers. Planning ranges, not quotes.
The variables that move the number
Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. All of them are easier to decline over the phone than mid-appointment.
- Service mix+$10–$35
Bundled bar menus price below buying services on a separate line.
- Add-on finishing+$10–$30
Finishing touches are offered at the chair.
- Provider tier+10–30%
Senior providers sit above the base menu.

Gratuity, converted from percentages into money
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $20 | On $33 | On $50 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $3 | $4.95 | $7.50 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $3.60 | $5.94 | $9 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $4 | $6.60 | $10 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $5 | $8.25 | $12.50 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- Holiday tipping is a separate norm from per-visit tipping and is generally a one-off larger amount.
- On a $33 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $0.66. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
- If more than one person worked on you, ask how tips are shared before assuming the lead provider receives all of it.
- On a package or prepaid series, tip each visit on the value of that visit rather than once on the whole package.
Avoid these before you book
Every one of these is common, avoidable, and has a dollar figure attached. None of this involves haggling — only asking one question at the right moment.

Seven questions that prevent a surprise bill
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "What is the precise price for basic manicure at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "What add-ons do you normally recommend for this service, and what does each cost?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
- "Are taxes added at checkout, and do you have a card-payment surcharge?"
- "Is a shampoo, blow-dry or finish included in that price, or billed separately?"
One more at the desk: ask for the itemised total before you tap the card. Every line should match something you were told about on the phone.
What the bill looks like at checkout
Work it forwards once and you will never be caught out again. A $60 service does not cost $60.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $60 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $9 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $69 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 7.8% | $5.38 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 20% | $13.80 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Sensible total | $88.18 | 47% above the menu price |
Worked at a $60 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Takeaway: budget $88 when the board says $60. The difference is $28.

Twelve months of basic manicure, priced out
A single $33 appointment is easy to justify. Maintained every 3 weeks, basic manicure becomes a $673 annual commitment at the national median — and that is the number worth deciding on.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $20 | 17 | $340 | $68 | $408 |
| National median | $33 | 17 | $561 | $112 | $673 |
| Premium provider | $50 | 17 | $850 | $170 | $1,020 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is effectively compulsory. Deduct it if you track tips apart from service spend.
Dropping one visit per year saves approximately $40. Dropping the cadence by a quarter saves about $168. Compare that against what you would save by moving to a cheaper provider before you switch.
Where else to look
The helpful comparison is like-for-like: same service scope, same provider tier, same market. These pages set the comparisons up that way.
